2008 Motor City Brag Tag Challenge

Description:
1) This is a fun disc golf event used as a fundraiser for local course improvements.
2) The way this works is when two or more players, all who have a bag tag, play for the right to win the lowest bag tag number in that challenge.
3) Tags are $10.00 each, with 100% of the proceeds going into the course improvement fund.
4) Absolutely only one tag per golfer!
5) All tag players must have a tag with them, at all times, on the course.
6) Brag Tag Challenge will begin Sunday March 16, 2008 at The March MudFest - we will hold the drawing for tags during the lunch break. (the #1 tag will be handed-out at this event-must be present though to be eligible)

Prizes:
1) At the end of the season, all bag taggers will get to keep his/her current tag as a memento.
2) The MCCG Finale (Oct.11) will be the site of the Brag Tag Finale.
3) We will be awarding a small prize for the lowest numbered tag won for these divisions: Pro/AM I, Masters, AM II / III, Women, Junior (if 4+ participate).
4) At registration of the MCCG Finale, you will enter your tag into what division* you wish to compete for tags in (this can be different from your actual playing division). You may only play your tag in your division or up. For example: if you want a shot at the #1 tag and the Pro/AM I prize, then throw yours into the top pool.
5) After the finale, tags will be reassigned based upon finishing order, within tag divisions.
6) The lowest numbered tag won in each division, (see prize rule #3) will be that division's winner for 2008.
*Divisions will be based on the following guidelines as determined by current PDGA
rating or if no PDGA # then league average will be used:
Open (pro) / AMI (935+) Master (age 40+) AMII (900+) / AMIII (850+),
Women oJuniors (may be added depending on participation)

Challenges:
1) League & Tournament play: When you play any organized round of disc golf (9,18,or24 holes) in the Metro Detroit area (league and tournaments), you automatically have a challenge with all the 2008 Brag Tag holders on your card, per round. You may not deny this challenge. This challenge does not have to be publicly announced or agreed upon before the start of the round, as it is automatic.
2) Right of challenge refusal rule goes to the higher numbered tag.
3) Lower numbered tags must accept a challenge, as outlined by challenge rules #4-14.
4) Lower numbered tag gets to choose where (local!) and when in an accepted challenge.
5) All challenges must be played as soon as reasonably possible, but within a two-week period.
6) A personal challenge will be automatically resolved when the challengers are playing in any organized event from the same tee pads.
7) The card challenge is resolved before a personal challenge.
8) A player can play a second challenge while an accepted challenge is unresolved.
9) You may accept a rematch challenge from a player that you have just beaten but are not required to do so.
10) In the event of a tie, it can be resolved by a sudden death playoff or CTP whatever is mutually agreed upon. However, if time does not allow or there is not an agreement then the player who started with the lowest numbered Brag Tag retains the lowest numbered tag.
11) A player who DNF's will automatically take the greatest number tag available on his/her card before he/she leaves. (Rooster Rule)
12) Doubles play is eligible for tag challenges. However, all four golfers must each have a tag. The winning team will take the two lowest numbered tags.
13) Stroke or match play is acceptable, as long as all players are in agreement with the format.
14) All mandatory challenges end with the Bag Tag Finale on October 11, 2008.
15) Bag Tag owners must participate. If there are complaints of non-activity then the BTC may be forced to take disciplinary action.

Miscellaneous:
1) At tournaments, there may be a separate ace pool and possible CTP for bag taggers only!
2) There will be random 'all-in' nights at MCCG. All taggers present will turn-in his/her tag and they will be reissued according to that night's scores.
3) Intentional abuse (defacing ,destroying, or throwing away) of the current year tag is in violation of the rules and will result in a replacement fee.
4) The original owner will sign the back of his/her new 2008 tag (nothing offensive please!) which will make each tag that much more unique.
5) A lost tag will result in a replacement fee of $5.
6) Tags may be sold or a traded to a NEW participant only under special situations (injury, relocation, etc.).
7) Participants must agree with these rules and follow them. Failure to do so could result in being barred from this activity the following season.
8) The Brag Tag Challenge Rules are subject to change and the BTC will handle all disputes.
9) The BTC reserves the right to revoke your Bag Tag at its discretion.
